DIRECTIONS (Qs. 1-4 ) : Read the following passage carefullyand answer the questions given below it.Educational planning should aim at meeting the educational needsof the entire population of all age groups. While the traditionalstructure of education as a three layer hierarchy from the primarystage to the university represents the core, we should not overlookthe periphery which is equally important. Under modernconditions, workers need to rewind, or renew their enthusiasm, orstrike out in a new direction, or improve their skills as much as anyuniversity professor. The retired and aged have their needs aswell. Educational planning, in other words, should take care of theneeds of everyone.Our structures of educational have been built up on theassumption that there is a terminal point of education. This basicdefect has become all the more harmful today. A UNESCO reportentitled ‘Learning to Be’ prepared by Edgar Faure and other in1973 asserts that the education of children must prepare the futureadult for various forms of self-learning. A viable education systemof the future should consist of modules with different kind offunctions serving a diversity of constituents. And performance,not the period of study, should be the basis for credentials. Thewriting is already on the wall.In view of the fact that the significance of a commitment of lifelonglearning and lifetime education is being discussed only in recentyears even in educationally advanced countries, the possibilityof the idea becoming an integral part of educational thinking seemsto be a far cry. For, to move in that direction means so much morethan some simple rearrangement of the present organisation ofeducation. But a good beginning can be made by developingOpen University programmes for older learners of differentcategories and introducing extension services in the conventionalcolleges and schools.
